Deliveryman helps bust underage party
BRAINTREE, Mass. -- A pizza deliveryman lead police to an underage drinking party last Saturday night.
Police said the teens ordered a pizza and two bags of chips.
"They took the food and slammed the door," said Robert Sullivan, the pizza deliveryman. "So I knocked again, rang the doorbell and no one answered the door again."
Then Sullivan flagged down a local police officer driving by.
Upon arrival on Plain Street in Braintree, police found several teenagers at an unsupervised party drinking alcohol. The host's parents were out of town.
The group of partygoers included Braintree High School athletes.
"As a result of these kids not paying a $10 bill, 39 individuals are being summoned into court to face minor in possession of alcohol charges," said Chief Paul Frazier of the Braintree Police Dept.
Braintree High School officials said there is a zero tolerance policy at their school and the students will be disciplined.
